Labor Day Fun 2007

Started off with a drive on the Grand Mesa...








Finished the day with a hike up Dinosaur Hill a couple of miles from home...
Fruita and the Grand Valley in the background.










Finish the night playing in Eddie's room...

Spending some quality time out front...

An afternoon trip to Utah

A very cool dead tree at Highline State park, just west of Fruita.





Just inside the Utah state line looking back into the Grand Valley of Colorado.

1st Grade - Day One

Time sure does fly...

On the move...

William is really starting to cruise. He's also using furniture to help himself stand (I'll try to capture a photo of that soon).

Daughters

For my daughter Claire, who starts First Grade tomorrow:

One year later...August 2007

One year ago...

Time flies. Just one year ago...the house was just starting to get built and Eddie got a buzz cut. Dad likes his buzz cut but Mom does NOT. What do you think?

Look Ma, no hands.

No. More. Diapers.

I think Eddie may be as happy as Mom and Dad to be out of diapers!

Friday Night Sleepover

Claire's friend Hannah came over for a slumber party last night. Good times were had be all.



Eddie tried to fit in with the group and then just decided to hang with Will.

Beating the Heat

Summer vacation is almost over...Only four weeks until school starts. The kids are loving the pool.

Pre dinner dip

Whew, it was a hot one yesterday. Add a little humidity from the monsoon and even William needs to cool off in the pool.

New Pool

We got a cheap pool for the kids yesterday. I think Eddie really likes it...

























































Got a little cold after a while.

It cooled off yesterday

Fun at the Fruita Pool

Claire and Eddie have been taking swim lessons all Summer. Here they get to show a little of what they've learned - and stay cool in the process.

Feel the heat

It's been hot around here lately. Add some smoke from several forest fires in Colorado, Wyoming and western Utah, and you get some seriously awesome sunsets.

Good Morning

Getting ready for the fireworks

We watched the Fruita fireworks from our front porch on Tuesday night. Lots of fun and lots of mosquito bites.

Hot Fun in the Summertime

Fun in the sun...or in the house.

Happy Birthday Eddie!

3-years old on June 30, 2007.

Eddie on his new bike (you should be able to click on the pictures for a larger image). He sat on it for about ten seconds and then demanded that he ride his trike instead. Claire also learned to ride her bike without the training wheels on Sunday. I'll get some pictures and post them in the very near future.
